jebbypalMay 5, 2004. Probably more like 10. Granted ive read fanfic since age of 16 when I got Internet access in a big way at the nerd high school. I wrote a lot of maRy sues that didn't ever make it to the Internet thank god. But then firefly came along and in combo with serious depression from hell lab I found fandom in a big way. I still haven't popped my con cherry, but I've had closer friendships for longer with some of you than with anyone I've known in real life. And ire ever fondly my foray I to fanfic awards moderation (blue sun awards. Also known as when Stacey had to finally read slash fanfic when some judges bailed), my trip down meta lane combined with the premature death of the she The Inside (also known as the Aston I didn't watch SYTYCD for 3 seasons), my entry to Farscape fandom, my first stalled mega wip that I still try to encourage my bunny to finish, and the various lj crises, and me finally acquiring slash goggles thanks to the avengers.
Along the way I've been lucky enough to meet several of you in person - Cassie, sabaceanbabe, PT, azuremonkey, fleshlycherry, inlovewithnight, and a couple of others. Some of you have married, had kids, had kids graduate, graduated yourself, and generally enriched my life either directly or vicariously through lertting me have experiences that I couldn't. And of course, gotten me used to responding to my best friends name or jp.
A decade is a long time. New Internet platforms come and go. I'm getting old enough that I find some of these new fangked things harder (twitter? Really? Nothing worth saying can be said in 120 characters. And I still don't know how to reply to tumblr posts). Through it all fandom is still here. And I still feel like my float is the greatest thing I've found on the Internet.
Especially since pt always manages to remind me when max martini is going to show up on my tv screen. Also gifts of Jeremy Renner never Hirt anyone and may be a means of achieving works peace.
